What is the best front sight to match with this?

Any front sight will work fine. I use the stock M4 gas block/front sight. I can look through my red-dot and sight righjt through it. If the red dot gets broken, I can pop it off and use the Matech and stock front sight. Works great.

I have a standard front sight but I replaced the post with a tritium filled one from meprolight. Just make sure whichever one you pick that it is adjustable for elevation as this rear sight only adjusts for windage and distance.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

I do not know I would think it would because I think the width of the front sight and depth is the same no matter what Sight is used my suggestion would be compare your front sight to 1 in the store and that way you have something to compare it to

I had my gun smith install both.He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great.Regards.Helmut1*

I'm not 100% sure as mine doesn't have a front sight. I removed it for a 12" handguard. It does raise the scope to a natural comfortable shooting height for me though.

I would get the Diamondhead front sight hi base gas block for using on the gas block rail. I it is made for the gas block rail.

Hi PA. I would not remove the front sight. It is designed to be used as a backup just in case the batteries go out on the red dot.

SirThat is largely up to you. UTG/Leapers makes good quality optics that should work well on that rifle. You can choose any magnification you like for it.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

Trijicon makes an HD night sight set to fit that gun. You should check with Trijicon to find the correct model number. They are awesome sights.

Sorry its not gonna work. You either wanna get a red dot reflex sight (I recommend the bushnell tlr-25) or a scout rifle scope. Those have a long eye relief

Yes that will fit it fine. Just make sure you have the proper front sight adjustment tool to sight everything in.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

This sight has no through hole in the front sight as the gun comes with the three dots with a dowel pin that secures the front sight. I bought a set and epoxy the front sight. after a few rounds the front sight flew off! I took mine to a local gun smith this weekend and have him fix it.

I use magpul sights. The basic mount does not absolute cowitness. I would try the cantilever mount.

nope sorry it will not fit your best bet is to get a good set of fiber optic sights

This is FDE for Eotech. It matches MAGPUL, Vltor, and other products FDE color. If there was a way to attach a picture I would send you an actual shot of mine.

This front sight works well even with the Glock rear sights. No need to change the rear sights at all. The reason I changed it was my front Glock sight got knocked off and I purchased this front sight and I like it better than the stock sight that I had on the gun.

You'll need to find out if the Vz has the same front sight set up as the AK. There's got to be a forum somewhere that can answer that.
